When Pigs Fly

Can you spot the pig in the attached photo?

Pigs will do that. We once ran a search warrant on a house. About half the team got bogged down in the living room, dining room, kitchen area with the occupants. Our point man continued to sweep the rest of the house with a two-man element following. The point guy cleared two small bedrooms without entering. The second element stepped into each, which put them about four seconds behind the point man.

The point man then entered the master bedroom. Typical of a dope house about every third light didn’t work, for lack of light bulbs. The master bedroom didn’t have a working light but the light to the master bathroom was on. As he approached the bathroom, he heard the noise of movement and a grunt behind him. That is not how this is supposed to work. The point man’s job is to advance until he meets opposition and once met, handle the opposition. He had obviously bypassed something.

He gave a shout and climbed up on top of five high chest of drawers. His back-up found him crouched on top, drawn down on a 100 pound Pot Bellied Pig.  The Pig was not aggressive just curious as to who his new playmate is. After assurances from the owner that the pig was friendly, we gave him the run of the house. He treated the raid team like guests and he was the host with the most, just delighted to see us all.

No pigs or dopers were injured in this incident.
